How can you overcome your number 1 fear?

37 things you should avoid!

What’s the best way to attract clients and get paid well?

By becoming the authority, celebrity, go-to-person in your field! Being known as THE expert so it becomes obvious that the client should turn to you when he or she is struggling with that problem you have THE solution for!

Easy, isn’t it?

Now I hear you say: “yeah all right, but how do I become that authority?”

My answer is, you can guess that one I hope, Personal Branding. In other words:

You position yourself as the expert in [your mastery] for [your target audience] and you deliver [your unique benefits] that will lead to [your promised results] and ultimately reach[your mission]. And clients should work with you because [your story].

This is a good exercise, try to fill the in the blanks between the brackets and you have your Brand Statement!

Do you know what’s the most effective way to show your authority in your field? Write a book! Yeah, I have done that. OK OK I’ll be honest, it’s an Ebook, but I’m proud of it and you can download it via my website www.youbrandbuilder.be

So publishing is a perfect way to grow your credibility.

“All great speakers were bad speakers at first” – Ralph Waldo Emerson

Another way is Public Speaking.

I found out that the biggest fear of us, humans, is public speaking. I wrote about that in my BLOG ‘she believed she could so she did’. But really it is more scary than dead, so you are better off in the casket than doing the eulogy. Huh?

Anyway, it is really important to build your brand so I have decided to make a list of the mistake a lot of presenters make, and that you should avoid. Enjoy the 37 items on the list

Memorize everything by heart

Read the presentation instead of presenting

Not preparing

Preparing too much

Speaking too fast

Not making eye contact with your public

Not knowing your public

Using big words

Not ending strong

Ending with a Q&A

Too many euh, ah, you know, eigenlijk, tu sais…

Self-bragging

Bashing

Not being your authentic self

Low energy

No passion

Too much data

Too much slides with too many words

Taking yourself too seriously

Small gestures

Only mind, no emotion

No humor

Volume not adapted

Not entertaining

Arriving too late

Not knowing the material nor the room

Apologizing

Not having fun

Not believing in your message

Hiding behind the podium

Not giving the audience an agenda

Not respecting the time

“Sometimes you win, sometimes you learn”

So now that you know all about the mistakes you should avoid, you are ready to give your presentations, right? 😉

Happy Clients

Greet is very driven and result oriented. Just what I needed to get me moving forward. She gave me the tools and confidence to get going. She’s down to earth and very insightful. Her clear structure and deadlines helped me finish tasks I never seemed to have time for. Her way of working made things a lot easier for me. She’s fun to work with and has a great sense of humor. What I liked the most: she believes in you, which makes you believe in yourself!
